I want to get new struts for my car. i heard Tokico D-spec shocks were nice, what else is out there that you guys would recommend? Think i could run Z struts on my car? Would they stretch for coupe springs?

Alright... if anyone wants my wheels... I have someone wanting to pay $1700+shipping. If anyone here wants them, I'd rather not deal with shipping. Lemme know quickly, cuz I'm about to pull the trigger and order some Volk GTS Phantoms. <-- stupid idea I know.

The time attack theme doesn't belong on my car.

Ben... don't. Great wheels deserve to shine. I agree with Andrew. No painting or powdercoating.

This is hot!

Lime green or canary yellow. How about the chameleon color that changes from different angles? What's your budget?

going with a chameleon paint job would throw a budget right out the window, your looking at $10K+ for that job.

Lime green would be sweet, not lambo green.

That's true. It was a thought.

I'm glad someone agreed. I think a color that you don't see often on any Z would be a good choice. I can't think of any, but you get the idea.

I like the midnight purple. That's pretty hot, but I think someone's already done it. Of course, that someone was probably the only person who did it, so you'd still be sporting a rare paintjob.
